Course description

Security—broadly defined as a removal of care—leaves its subjects either carefree or careless. In examining literary and theoretical texts, this course draws out the ethical implications of the persistent concern to be free of concern. Does security make us vigilant or negligent, confident or complacent? Does it promote more fear than it assuages? Is a security purchased with freedom or human rights morally viable? Such questions broach a more informed, nuanced, and critical engagement concerning our civic, professional, and personal lives.
